This bill amends the Code of West Virginia to allow registered voters to change their party affiliation on the day of a primary, general, or special election. Specifically, it introduces new language stating that any person who has previously registered to vote may change their party affiliation during these elections, thereby enhancing voter flexibility and participation.

Additionally, the bill retains the existing eligibility criteria for voter registration, which includes being a U.S. citizen, a legal resident of West Virginia, and at least 18 years old by the next general election. It also maintains the disqualifications for individuals convicted of certain crimes or declared mentally incompetent. The overall aim of the bill is to facilitate greater voter engagement by allowing last-minute changes to party affiliation.
